Healthwatch Rutland Dementia Project
It is so important that we hear people’s experiences of living with dementia and that of their families and carers. This work will feed into the development of the Rutland Dementia Strategy which will hopefully lead to improvements for Rutland people.
Please do not trespass on private lands
The owners of the Water Gardens and fields below to the south have reported an increase in people trespassing on their land. They also report dogs being let off leads and dog mess not being picked up.
The Water Gardens and fields are private property and should not be entered unless given permission by the owners.
Residents are asked to keep to the footpaths, keep dogs on lead and clear up after them.

Extension to the Neighbourhood Plan Consultation.
The Consultation has been extended to the 14th October 2022; due to the death of the Queen and the period of mourning there were some loss of days and focus on the consultation.
There are already responses that potentially will result in alterations to the Plan, and so do not feel that the plan is a “Done Deal”, the Parish Council values your input, particularly your comments and will assess all input before finalising the plan. It will then be submitted to RCC and the Official Inspector.
The Plan and supporting documents, plus the online form for responses and comments can be found here:

The death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
Following the sad news of the death of Queen Elizabeth ll we are now in a period of public grief and national mourning. The Parish Council is still waiting to hear exactly how public protocol will be applied at this time
However, this is to let you know that all formal meetings until after the Queen’s funeral are to be postponed. This means that our expected meeting on Monday 19th September will not now take place. While as a council, we would wish to show proper respect, it is the case that any decision made during a period of mourning may be subject to legal challenge.
I will keep you informed about when the council is next able to meet formally.
